Fabulous hotel, fabulous staff, fabulous stay!
Pros:

Fantastic staff, made us feel so welcome. Great hearty fresh breakfasts. Lovely location with wonderful history to the building.

Cons:

Slightly dated look to the rooms which might not be to everyone’s taste, but I thought it added character and charm. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.

Pros:

La piscine of course ! L'aimabilité du personnel aussi, nous avons été très bien accueillis, et la petite bouteille d'eau fraiche offerte à notre arrivée, geste très agréable avec cette chaleur. La clim aussi, déjà allumée dans la chambre pour la rafraîchir à notre venue

Cons:

Les grincements du parquet, pas de café/thé à disposition dans la chambre, et les affaires de nettoyage qui ont traîné devant notre chambre jusque 17h00...

Lovely and well appointed with restricted access to pool
Pros:

It’s a lovely and charming hotel with that seamless understated elegence the French do so well in a fab central location.

Cons:

The pool is fantastic but open rarely. It opens at 2 in the afternoon so as we stayed only one night our morning swim and therefore any swim was not possible, which is a shame as we booked it for the pool.
